A little visual exaggeration. There was a whole slew of mannerisms that were drilled into me by one hotey-totey foster home when I was 8-9, that weren’t followed by the next. They drove me nuts with their seemingly backwoods ways until I learned that the previous experience was more the exception than the rule.

Eddie is the only one that finished what he started. For today...I am in awe. Toby actually looked up from his plate and stopped hoover-ing food just long enough to say something. (darn predictive script – it doesn’t understand – nouns and names become adjectives and verbs. )

About The Buckets

Art holds a mirror up to Nature. The Buckets come along, turn the mirror on Art and say, “Look how goofy you’re acting. Now get to work, Art. Your kids need an Xbox 360.”

The Buckets comic strip isn’t a parody of family life. Parodies are filled with hearts and rainbows or enraged tirades and dramatic confrontation. The Buckets, though? Nope. Real life, baby. It’s funny because it’s on a page and not in your house at the moment. Next week, when it’s happening to you, you’ll thank us for reminding you that it’s supposed to be funny.

Greg Cravens looks in the mirror and see not himself, but all of us. And then he draws up the silly, grand, goofy, thrilling, utterly human things we do and calls it The Buckets.
